Corporal Dwayne Hicks, privates first class Hudson and Vasquez, the android Bishop, the traitor Burke, the unexpected Queen Alien and her numerous offspring... and of course the tireless and tireless Ripley... In 1986, James Cameron, crowned with the success of his recent Terminator, offered a highly anticipated sequel to the terrifying Alien, the eighth passenger by Ridley Scott, seven years after its theatrical release. Aware that the best homage is to extend the mythology of the first opus while giving it a new direction, he presents a true war film. A war in space, a futuristic war, a merciless war. For the first time, this collector's book reveals everything behind the scenes of this cult film with incredible photos from sets that have never or rarely been shown and new exclusive testimonials, including that of actress Carrie Henn who played young Newt at the time. An essential book for all fans of science fiction and cinema.
